For you kids and jokers that haven’t figured it out yet, if you are warm and open and respectful the police will be good to you, actually ALL PEOPLE WILL BE GOOD TO YOU. On the other hand, if you are a Jack Ass, or just a bad person then people know this about you immediately. They resist you and fight you all the way. If your life sucks it is 100% you. GO TWEED GUYS.

I doubt if the thought of attempting to forceably stop a speeding SUV by pulling abruptly in front of it ever crossed any of the gang rider’s minds.

The minority mind – we always get the short end of the stick, get looked down upon as less worthy, and face a harder path to success, along with the social acceptance and prestige it guarantees, all of which is exceedingly unfair, and it makes us mad. Thus since we are so unjustly suppressed at all other times, this one time, when we are all out with our friends and out in force, we have the right to push the limits and clear the roads – by taking, not politely asking, since we as minorities will never get the benefit of the doubt. Then we can finally be free to do our thing and have our time in the sun for a change.

All men have feelings of insecurities and fears of inferiority, but whites as a collective group have little of these, if any. For minorities as a collective group, the situation could not be more different. As it is easy to imagine, strong feelings of inferiority and the attempts to overcome and compensate for them, esp. when viewed as unjust, usually lead to a warped view of the world, along with less predictable and more extreme behaviors.

So no, a large group of white bikers will not be more intimidating for most than one full of minorities. Not even in the same ballpark. Don’t the white biker gangs pride themselves on leaving the public alone and out of the conduct of their business whenever possible, even claiming there respect for the public as one of traits which differentiates them from the minorities?

outlaw bikers, in-law bikers. in a Quinnipiac poll, the 97% soccer moms in mini vans surveyed say they hate us (wholesale). they ain’t got time to be dicin’ us up into little groups. billy’s gotta a match starting at 09:00.
